Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Lebanese
Ingredients: 1 cup brown lentils; 1 cup long-grain white rice; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 4 cups vegetable broth; Salt and pepper, to taste; Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Rinse the lentils under cold water to remove any impurities.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, allowing the spices to bloom and release their flavors.
Add the rinsed lentils and rice, stirring well to coat them with the spices.
Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 20-25 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent sticking.
Once lentils and rice are tender and liquid absorbed, remove from heat.
Fluff the pilaf with a fork to separate the grains and distribute flavors evenly.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
